Perinatal Counselling
Perinatal Counselling
Perinatal mental health focuses on the emotional well-being of women and families from preconception to three years postpartum. Research shows that up to 1 in 5 women may experience anxiety and depression during this period.
Viewing this time through the lens of Matrescence, the profound transformation women undergo during motherhood, highlights the increased need for mental health support. This period of significant change and adaptation requires compassionate and ongoing care, especially for those with pre-existing challenges. Addressing these needs holistically ensures both the mother's and family's overall well-being.
At Wells Psychology, we offer safe and supportive counselling for mothers navigating parenthood. Our services provide a confidential space to explore thoughts and feelings during this transformative phase.
Women's Wellness
Perinatal Counselling
Perinatal Counselling
Women encounter unique mental health challenges due to a combination of biological and societal factors, such as hormonal fluctuations, infertility, domestic violence, sexual abuse, parenting challenges, and discrimination. Additionally, the pervasive influence of media and extreme health trends can significantly impact self-esteem. These barriers are often intensified by the pressures of balancing multiple roles, including caregiver, professional, and partner.
Supportive mental health services can help women navigate these struggles by offering a compassionate, judgment-free space to share their experiences, with a holistic focus on health and well-being.
At Wells Psychology, we provide a supportive environment where women feel heard and validated. We focus on both immediate concerns and underlying factors to ensure long-term mental well-being and personal growth.
Parenting Support
Neurodiversity Affirming Practice
Neurodiversity Affirming Practice
Parenting is widely recognised as one of the most rewarding roles, yet it comes with its share of stresses. The task of nurturing healthy, happy, and well-adjusted children can sometimes seem overwhelming. As children grow and develop, every parent navigates the highs and lows, which can complicate providing the nurturing support essential for their children’s development.
At Wells Psychology, we empower parents with evidence-based strategies designed to boost parenting confidence and alleviate feelings of guilt. Parents can also opt to participate in the Circle of Security Parenting™ (COSP) Program, led by Ashlee Wells, a Registered Facilitator.
The COSP program, grounded in extensive research, assists parents in understanding their children’s emotional world, fostering secure attachments that are crucial for their development into well-rounded adults.

Neurodiversity Affirming Practice
Neurodiversity is a concept that acknowledges the natural variations in human brains, including how they function and interact with the environment, as outlined by Judy Singer in 1998. This perspective appreciates that there isn't just one 'type' of brain or way of thinking.
At Wells Psychology, we adopt a neurodiversity-affirming approach, which respects the natural variations in human brains as differences, not deficits. This perspective encourages empowerment, autonomy, and inclusive practices that honor and celebrate the unique contributions of each individual.
We recognise that the uniqueness of each brain and person enriches our community. Wells Psychology offers adult assessments and diagnoses for Autism and ADHD, helping to identify and understand these neurodiverse traits in adults.
